The problem is the Caller *name* is not being delivered to the cnd-program specified in mgetty.config According to the mgetty doc, when cnd-program is specified in mgetty.config that program is called with several positional parameters: port number/name.i.e ttyS0 calling number calling name called number (for ISDN modems only) I get the port number and the calling number properly, but no name. I know the name is reported because: 1 - I see it on telephones connected to the same phone line. 2 - The USRobotics modem reports it as part of the formatted display between the first and second ring Other than that, mgetty is working very well for me. I can't find anything that documents how to coerce mgetty into passing the name to cnd-program... Does anybody have any suggestions?I'd head over to US Robotic web pages and check out the init strings on your modem. There is a variable to plug into your init string to enable it. Wow! It's been a few years since I had to diddle with 8 modems and their init strings at once. I don't miss the phone bill though! Ric
Thanks for the suggestion, but I do not think the problem is related to the init string. From the USR Courier manual: #CID=0 Disable Caller ID detection and reporting #CID=1 Enable Caller ID with formatted output #CID=2 Enable Caller ID with unformatted output #CID=3 Enable Caller ID with formatted output and name suppressed I use #CID=1 ... But I will change the debug settings on mgetty to see if I can get more detail in the mgetty.log.ttyS1 log file... Don
